Really hard to imagine what devastation would be wrought by this procedure on anyone. Behavior modification, yet.

So easy to see how it would be life changing. It would take a lot of courage and hope to communicate positively with someone who had endured so much. I don't believe most people are skilled, focused enough to be effective, and most would probably be completely incapable altogether. Self-centeredness would definitely not be an asset in this work.

Thank you for your comments.
